  Solr's uses [http://lucene.apache.org/ Lucene] for ranking.  A detailed summary of the ranking calculation can be obtained by adding [http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CommonQueryParameters#head-f45a9396425956a4db8d6478ed6029adfb7b0858 `debugQuery=true`] to the query parameter list.  The output takes some getting used to if you are not familiar with Lucene's ranking model.

+ == Why Isn't Sorting Working on my Text Fields? ==
+ 
+ Lucene Sorting requires that the field you want to sort on be indexed, but it cannot contain more then one "token" per document.  Most Analyzers used on Text fields result in more then one token, so the simplest thing to do is to use copyField to index a second version of your field using the !StrField class.
+ 
+ If you need to do some processing on the field value using !TokenFilters, you can also use the !KeywordTokenizer, see the Solr example schema for more information.
